2. Describe your race day.

   The scenery was OUT OF THIS WORLD GORGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING, INVIGORATING!!! This was my first time jogging 12 miles only doing 1 second stops at water stations to swallow a little water and continue. The last 1.1 miles, I had to walk, couldn't jog anymore. Truly a BEAUTIFUL run.

3. Did you PR?

   I sure as hell PRd!!! And proud of it!!! Not sure how close, but I know I PRd!!! Did the half, so no qualify for the BM.

4. How would you describe the course?

   I can't begin to explain how BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING, INVIGORATING this course was for me. I normally jog and walk on half marathons. To jog for 12 miles and then walks the last 1.1 miles only to stop for seconds at water stations every 2 miles, tells you how I LOVED the scenery, the grade and the elevation. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT ALL!!

5. Tell us about your training.

   I train with a group of wonderful ladies and 2 men. They definitely got me ready for this run. Training advice - just keep working at it every week.

6. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

   We stayed in the area overnight on Saturday. Pasta loaded at Old Spaghetti Factory Saturday night and then put those calories back in at an authentic Chinese restaurant in Alhambra on Sunday after the race. Then we all went back to our homes in the San Fernando Valley and Santa Monica areas.
